A Few SKernels'' Of Comfort and
strains OF Thought for the SsEars''
OF the Doubling

II Is eSIlmaCed that the corn Will
average about half crop in this coun-
ty. but the acreage is much larger than
usual.-Chase County Leader.
Glorious rains visited Pratt county
Sunday and Monday, soaking the
ground thoroughly, giving new life and
yigor to vegetation, and helping the
late corn.
j. S. Van Deusen of Elyria, last
Monday showed some of the best corn
we have seen grown the present season.
He has 140 acres which will yield from
thirty to forty bushels per acre.
MCPHERSON Democrat.
Dry weather cannot effect corn much
in this locality. Step-ladders and
hatchets will be in demand when the
farmers commence gathering in the
golden grain.-Cherryvale Republican.
Our friend J. F. Hutchinson, of
White Rock township, brought us a
fine mess of roasting ears. All of the
ears were nearly foot long and Mr..
Hutchinson says that they were but
fair sample of his whole crop.-Re-
public Ne,cs.
VIM. Owens, living three miles east
of town, in Logan township, said that
he has the best corn crop that he has
had since he has been in the state, and
that the rain of Wednesday night was
worth $50 to Washington Re
publican.
Mr.. Erwin Caldwell, living on sec.
25-27-17 in the sand hills, brought a
specimen of his corn to our office
that will average 40 to 90 bushels to
the acre. The old ground is as fine a
specimen as we ever saw. The corn
that is growing on sod will make 40
bushels to the eacre.-Greensburg Rust
Ter.
In conversation with some of our
merchants this week they informed us
that their trade is better now than at
any other period this Summer. This
speaks well for the farmers of the coun-
ty, it shows that while the corn crop
will be short yet they are all in good
shape.
We saw some ears of green corn at
the office of Filkins and Sisler that
did our eyes good. They were from
the farm of Lewis Allen, near the
county line between Bitlertown and
Madison. Mr. Allen has fifty acres of
this corn, which he thinks will yield
sixty bushels to the acre. In the
neighbOrhoOd where the corn was list
ed and got in early, Mr. Allen thinks
the yield will be about the same as
his.-Emporia Globe.
MI II. a. Newman, who lives six
miles southwest of the city, brought
into this Office two stalks of corn-one
of which was sixteen feet high and the
other ten feet-the average height of
40 acres he has laid by. Each stalk
bears Il large ear of corn and is as green
as though frequently refreshed by rain-
although everybody knows it has been
very dry. Nh. Newman says his corn
is far better than it was last year.
Hiawatha World.
Thos. g. Elbury, who has been visit
ing friends in the south part of the
county for several days. returned last
evening and brought with him a fair
sample of corn raised in that section
this season. Two ears shown to our
reporter, each measuring II inches in
containing over 900 grains, is fair evil
dence that our crops are not so bad,
despite the drouth.- Kingman Courier.

Latest on the Dude.

y pretty advance specimen of this
class was paying court to the daughter
of a clergyman. He was invited to
dine at the house, and the young Lady
assured him that he had better prepare
himself to return thanks at the dinner
table, as her father always asked his
guests to do so. Il really cawn't. /
couldn't do it, We knaw." but you
must," said his sweetheart, ''or your
chances are gone.'' ''Ah, well, will
twy, but I'll make an awful mess of it,
We knaw." Dinner time came, and the
clergyman politely called upon the
young man to return thanks, as the
young lady had predicted. He gave a
despairing glance at his sweetheart
folded his hands and said: All therel
Jesus. Awfully jolly spread. Thanks
awfullyl There was no marriage

DURING the fair at Topeka this COM
ing fall, band contest open to all
amateur bands of the state, will be
held. 500 and $500 prizes will be Civ
ell, and we don't see any reason why
Great Bend could not enter the lists
with her band and make good record,
too. Encourage the band boys in their
effort to organize on a substantial ba-
sis, and you will not regret it.

A LIVE and wide-awake newspaper
will look after the interests of the null
titude, and not govern it's actions ac-
cording to the wishes of a few. Peo-
pie don't generally scratch where it

ing up "a row about a newspaper item,
you may know the item touched him

Thirty-two Days ON Dismantled Hulk
NEw YoKk, December 23.-"For thirty
two days two survivors Of crew of twenty
eight mon existed on a dismantlsd water.
logged hulk in stormy sea, with never
sail in sight"
Such was the substance of the story told by
Oscar Linn and Henry Magnus, the only
witnesses to the loss of the American clipper
ship Alfred Watts. A dispatch from Phila-
delphia on December IL, told of tho loss of
the vessel, but this was afterward discredi-
ted. Two Scandinavian sailors who still
bear evidence in their faces of the sufferings
they had endured, gave detailed account
of the disaster to the reporter. The
Alfred Watts, under command of the
veteran Captain F. b. johnson, left
Philadelphia on October 8 for Hiogo, in
Japan, with a cargo of 714,205 gallons
of case oil. On October 10 q hurricane
struck the vessel. Shortly after noon huge
sea boarded the vessel, and Captain johnson
and twenty-six seamen were carried away.
The two sailors, left alone on tho great ship,
could only cling to the broken fixtures of the
main deck. The main mast snapped off
close to the deck and the fore and mizzen
masts followed, the sea sweeping everything
overheard. The ship was rapidly filing and
coon the decks were flush with the water.
They managed to obtain some of the brine
soaked provisions ON the Watts and some
water from the tanks. On November 20 the
bark Lizzie Perry, of Yarmouth, England,
took them off in an exhausted condition,
The Perry was wrecked few days later on
a reef off Barbados but every one was saved
by an English steamer.

A Fatal Collision.

Fl. ScoTT, KAN, December 26.-The juno
ton of the Kansas City, Fl Scott & Gull
railway with the Missouri Pacific, in the
suburbs of the city, was the scene of fatal
and damaging collision between two freight
trains at 8 80 o'clock. The facts as near as
can be obtained are as follows: heavy
freight train in charge of Conductor w. ii.
Lawson and Engineer William Berry, of
Sedalia, while coming down grade east of
the junction, on the Missouri Pacific, broke
in two. Engineer Berry evidently made an
effort to outrun the detached section of his
train, and succeeded in reaching an
elevation 200 or 300 yards east of the
junction, when the train was rscoupled.
There, it is claimed, he blew bis whistle
three times and started for the crossing,
which afforded a plain view of trains on
either road. just as he reached the cross
ing an extra freight on the Kansas City,
Fort Scott u Gulf road, in charge of Con-
cuctor Steve Hopkins and Engineer Com
isky, came dashing along, going north,
striking the Missouri Pacific engine just be-
hind the drive wheels, utterly demolishing
both locomotives and destroying several
freight cars. Engineer Comisky and Fire.
man Robert Welsh, of the Gulf train,
jumped in time to save their lives, las did
Harry Parke., fireman on the Pacific en-
gine but Engineer Berry held to his lever
and was carried over and crushed to death
by the falling engine. Engineer Berry re-
sided in Sedal1a, was "a years of age, and
member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, besides several other orders, and
carries life insurance of 81, GOO. The re-
mains were sent to Sedalia.

A Bond Robber Capture,

HALIFAX, MS, December 23.-Frank @.
Medically, for whom detectives have been
looking for months, was captured this morn
ing. McNeally's crime was the theft of
$185, 600 in bonds and $4,000 in cash from
the Saco and Biddeford Savings institution,
of Saco, Maine, of viii oh he was teller. He
fled to Europe but returned here on the
steamer Polynesian on Sunday. His broth
or came here from Saco and met him, and
the theory is that he took away the bonds
with him when he returned to. Saco, as they
were not found when young McNeal-
ly's baggage was searched to-day. His trunks
contained many suits of costly clothing and
considerable fine jewelry. The only writing
found was two kilograms in CIPHER. There
was also complete set of appliances for
effecting DISCUSSES. Young NcNeally adj
mitted his identity. He sent for Consul
General Phelan, with whom he had long
private interview. The Saco authorities
were notified of the arrest. McNeally
subsequently received a dispatch from
Cashier Kelly, of the Saco and Bid
deford saving institution, stating that his
brother Harry Men eally had left for Halifax
to act as their agent, explain matters and
make arrangements. The state constable
tonight telegraphed to the chief of police to
hold the prisoner until the proper papers
have been forwarded. Consul Phelan has
received dispatch from the teller of the
Saco and Biddeford institution authorizing
him to take care of any of the stolen bonds
that might be secured.

AN APPRopn1ArE PRESENT.

President Cleveland Senda the Pope .
Copy Of the Constitution OF the United
States.
BALTnGoRE, Nd, December ga special
dispatch from Rome to the SUN says: ssThe
present from President Cleveland to the
pope arrived. Il is a copy of the United
States constitution beautifully engrossed
and richly bound in book form. It was for
warded to Rome through Cardinal Gibbons,
who received it in Baltimore from President
Cleveland about three weeks ago. It was
accompanied by q letter in which the presi-
dent requested the cardinal to send his COR
dial congratulations to the pope on his ap-
preaching jubilee"
''The present." continues the dispatch,
s'has been placed in the keeping of the Amer
lean college here, where it will remain
until formally presented to the pope by
Archbishop Ryan, Of Philadelphia, and
Bishop Ryan, of Buffalo. The book is gilt
edged, contains fifteen pages, each page
eighteen inches square, and is bound with
vellum of green color. The words The
Constitution of the United States of Amer.
ica' are on the cover in gilt letters. The
book rests in q handsome case of Iyrian
purple. The few persons who have seen the
present speak very highly of its merit as a
specimen of what Americans do in that line,
but the greatest praise it has created is Civ
en- the president for the simplicity of his
gift"

them. Some little time ago the Kelly family
suddenly disappeared, but as nothing was
little comment. A Msk or SO after their
departure, some men happening by the
ranch, entered the vacant house, and, on
looking into the cellar, found the half de-
composed body of a man. Further search
revealed two other bodies. There would
seem to have been systematic slaughter,
somewhat after the manner in which the
Bender family used to dispose of their guests.

The Reading Strike.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December 24.-The
convention of the Reading railroad en-
ployes assembled here this evening and or
dered on strike everybody in the employ
of the company with the exception of pas
senger train employees. The ord er to strike
includes the coal miners in the employ of
the Reading company and will effect nearly
$1,000 men.
The convention adopted resolutions CEN
surfing the company for violating the thir-
teenth article of the agreement made year
ago between the officers of the company and
employees, which read as follows: 'That
every man employed by the company shall
receive fair and just investigation of any
grievance or complaint entered against
him before he shall be discharged
or suspended" In view of this viola
ion and the company's refusal to arbitrate
the differences with their men appointed to
settle the difficulty, the convention decided
to order out all employees of the Reading
railroad system except the passenger train
men, signal men, switchmen and gate
keepers. This order was issued at once and
word was telegraphed to all tho stations on
the system. Resolutions were adopted
deprecating the presence of the police.
